Written by Stephen Percy Harris

	  		
Intro: Em  D  C  D (3x)  

Em                                        D  
You'll take my life but i'll take yours too  
Em                                           D  
You'll fire your musket but i'll run you through  
C                                    D  
So when you're waiting for the next attack  
Em                                       D  
You'd better stand there's no turning back.  
Em                                  D  
The bugle sounds and the charge begins  
Em                               D  
But on this battlefield no one wins  
C                                     D  
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath  
Em                           D  
As i plunge on into certain death.  
D                     Em  
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  
D                       Em   (Em  D  C  D)2x 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  
Em                                         D  
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run  
Em                              D  
The mighty roar of the russian guns  
C                                D  
And as we race towards the human wall  
Em                                    D  
The screams of pain as my comrades fall  
Em                                   D  
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground  
Em                               D  
And the russians fire another round  
C                          D 
We get so near yet so far away  
Em                              D 
We won't live to fight another day.  
Em                               D 
We get so close near enough to fight  
Em                             D 
When a russian gets me in his sights  
C                                   D 
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow  
Em                                D 
A burst of rounds take my horse below.  
Em                               D 
And as i lay there gazing at the sky  
Em                               D 
My body's numb and my throat is dry  
C                            D 
And as i lay forgotten and alone  
Em                               D 
Without a tear i draw my parting groan  
D                      Em  
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  
D                      Em   (Em  D  C  D) 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
